Fulham vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Willian's stoppage-time penalty ends Fulham's winless run as they beat Wolves 3-2. It was an even first half, which ended with the teams level at 1-1. Iwobi put the Cottagers ahead after just seven minutes before Cunha equalised with a thumping header 15 minutes later. Hwang also rattled the crossbar between those two goals. The story of the second half revolves around penalties. Cairney won the first when he was tripped by Semedo, and Willian stepped up to wrongfoot the keeper and fire Fulham back into the lead. At the other end, Hwang was clumsily bundled over by Ream in the box and fired his own spot-kick down the middle. Then, in stoppage time, Fulham won another as Joao Gomes desperately tripped Wilson, and Willian was on target once more as he squeezed it past Sa from 12 yards. That's Fulham's first win in four and it moves them up to 14th. Next up for them is a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool. Wolves suffer their second consecutive away defeat as they stay in 12th. They travel to Arsenal at the weekend. That's all for today, goodbye!

CLOSE! Wolves win a free-kick on the right and Sa makes his way forward for what is surely the last chance. Fulham can't clear their lines and Doyle pokes it back into the six-yard box. Kalajdzic loses his bearings, but Robinson is there to block the cross on the line and hook it away.

The Fulham fans are asking for the final whistle, but there's going to be another couple of minutes yet after that long VAR check at the start of stoppage time. The hosts are pressing Wolves high, trying to block their way into the final third.

Fulham are doing a good job of keeping hold of the ball as they try to run the clock down. They're still pushing forward, but Wolves just can't get close to their hosts at the moment.

WILLIAN SCORES AGAIN! Just like last time, the midfielder takes a long run-up from the edge of the box and hesitates just in front of the ball. He doesn't catch Sa out this time, as the keeper dives the right way, but Willian's penalty is precise. It's out of the keeper's reach as it nestles into the bottom-left corner. 3-2 Fulham! Can they hold on this time?

PENALTY TO FULHAM! Joao Gomes can't control the ball as it bounces off his thigh, and he desperately stretches to try and stop Wilson from nicking it off him. The Brazilian didn't get the ball, and Fulham have another spot-kick!

The board has gone up to say there will be seven added minutes, but there'll be more than that as VAR takes a long look at the potential Fulham penalty. After watching all the angles, referee Michael Salisbury is asked to go over to the monitor.

PENALTY? Willian dinks it over the top for Robinson, who pulls it back to Wilson on the left of the box. Joao Gomes' first touch is heavy and Wilson quickly gets across to nick it off him, tripping over the Brazilian's outstretched leg. The home fans and players are asking the question, but the referee gives a shake of his head. VAR will have a look at it though...
